A nomogram is presented to estimate the radiooctivity of99mTc in99Mo-99mTc generators, based on equations of radioactive equilibrium. Since the parent element decays through two isomeric states of the daughter, the ratio of the total mass of technetium per millicurie of99mTc is a function of the time elapsed between two consecutive elutions. Values of the amount of99mTc expressed as a mole fraction or in moles or grams of total technetium per millicurie of99mTcm are also presented. © 1979 Akadémiai Kiadó.
